Why would her bill double from another meter if her consumption doesn't change?
Comment on Warning RTS electricity meters in 300,000 homes could stop working

What if I don’t want to change it? I’ve seen my sister’s bills double since she got a smart meter so why the hell would I want to do that? I’m more than happy to keep giving them a manual reading.
What are my options?
I hate this world.

This is specifically only for meters that can switch between peak and off peak rates. Not all "dumb"meters do this.

Then good luck as you embark on your new life without electricity.

… Then the original meter must have been faulty?
All the smart meters do is make it easier to collect the readings (end enable fancy tarrifs)

I’m willing to bet that, since their sister got a smart meter, everyone’s bills have doubled.
